Swim Course
The Swim: The course will be set by our swim director Paul Dribnock and will be a one loop, 1.5km (.94 mile) course marked often with buoys. The course will be marshaled by race staff and trained life guards. Typically the water is the perfect temperature to wear a wet suit and not have to worry about over-heating or being too cold. The water is completely free of current, wind, or other potential natural hazards. Wetsuits are are not mandatory.
Bike Course
As with our Metro Triathlon, the bike course at the Reservoir Triathlon will be on some of the most famous biking roads in the Santa Clara Valley. The race will have gently rolling hills and one steep climb. These are the roads that members from SVTC, TRIbe, Kain Performance, Team In Training, Wolfpack, and Specialized ride on every week of the year. The course is 40km (24.8 miles) long.
Run Course
The best part of the run course, in our opinion, is the finish. Not just because you're done with the run, but because it is typically lined on both sides of the street and into the transition area finish with the local multi sport community. Again, the course will be 10km (6.2 miles) and flat to a couple of “stride breakers” in the form of rolling hills.
Post Race:
The Finish includes a huge post race expo with all the fixings: great music, exciting race day announcer, free catered food buffet which includes -Pizza, fruit, bagels with shmear, bottled water, beer and more.
